Abstract
The construction industry faces challenges such as project complexity, delays, and communication issues. Leveraging AI, particularly through data analysis, predictive analytics, and machine learning, addresses these challenges by optimizing project planning, scheduling, and risk management. This paper outlines strategies for AI integration, including data collection, machine learning algorithms, and cloud computing. Case studies highlight successful implementations, showcasing benefits such as increased efficiency, cost savings, and improved safety. However, challenges like data security and workforce acceptance must be considered. The abstract concludes by discussing future trends and encouraging the construction industry to embrace AI for enhanced project outcomes.
